IPOH: Perak FC head coach Datuk Lim Teong Kim praised the sharpness displayed by his team’s front line to ensure that Perak FC managed to get their maiden victory in this season’s Super League when they beat Kuching City FC 2-0 at the Perak Stadium here last night.
He said that despite being put under pressure by the opponents, the two golden opportunities obtained in each half were successfully translated into goals by The Bos Gaurus’ attack machinery.
“I hope that these three points will be a starting point for Perak to continue the winning momentum in the upcoming matches.
“I also really expect the fans to flood the stadium after this because their support will boost the players spirit and determination to continue creating success,” he told the post-match press conference.
Teong Kim was also satisfied with the performance displayed by Nigerian import striker Christian Obiozor despite only scoring one goal after appearing in three league matches.
“For me, it is not only goals that are a measurement of performance, but the effort in defending and attacking needs to be emphasised. Overall, I am satisfied with the performance displayed by Obiozor,” he said.
Playing in front of some 4,000 spectators, The Bos Gaurus’ two goals were scored by South Korean import Seo Seonung in the 41st and 58th minutes.
Following last night’s victory, Perak now have collected five points and jumped to sixth position in the Super League while Kuching City are in 10th place with three points.
Meanwhile, Kuching City FC assistant head coach Sulaiman Hussin attributed the defeat to the poor performance displayed by his men throughout the 90 minutes of the game.
“We lost not because Perak played that well but because our players made too many mistakes and the opportunities created failed to be converted to goals,” he said.
Sulaiman said for the next match, his players need to rise up and not make silly mistakes if they want to notch a victory. – BERNAMA
